What to do with old projects?

Hello all,
I am unsure of how to ask my question, so I can't "RTFM." I wish I could... So here is the scenario.
I have a lot of weddings that I am done with that are just hanging out in the project pane. I want to get them out of there so I can only have projects that I am actively working on. I just don't know how to get rid of them. When I delete the project, do I delete the images? How do I archive it so it's out of the way? Am I making any sense? How do you do this?
Thanks for helping me out. I am pretty good with the software, but this one simple task is alluding me. It's the easiest things that get you...

If you delete a project from Aperture, if the files are managed, you are not only deleting any information you applied to those images, but you are also moving those images into the trash. So instead you'd be better off doing one of the following.
You have a few options.
The simplest option would be to add your current Projects to Favorites and then just have Aperture show "Favorites Projects" in the pull down menu. When your done with that wedding un-favorite it.
Another simple way would be to create a folder and call it something like Old Weddings, Weddings Archive or whatever. Then just move those projects into that folder so you don't have to see them, only the single closed folder. You could also sub folder them into years for easier finding later.
If you really want the entire project out of Aperture you can do the following.
Export the project from Aperture to wherever you want to store it then you can delete the project from the library. If the images are managed they will move with the project. If the images are referenced then you have the option of including the images in the exported project.

  • Problem with Task Aggregation from Project Server with old Project Server permissions mode.

    Hi, I have installed Sharepoint 2013 with all CU, and Project Server 2013 with June CU update. Later, I attached database from old Project Server 2010 database, all was OK, but now I have my PWA with old Project Server permissions mode.
    After that I have created MySite with users from AD of my company, it's OK, but Task Aggregation not working. Moreover, I have not any errors on the MyTask page.
    You can see that I can insert private tasks, but I can not see any tasks from pwa, however I have a lot of tasks there. Please help me.
    My search works well amd WMA Service too.
    Where directly crawler search the tasks? Maybe there are errors in search log with that ulrs?

    Hi,
    did you setup the Work Management Service Application in the Central Administration? If yes, please check if the Applicationpool account of the Work Managment Service has full Access to the User Profile Service Application (over the Ribbon | Permissions).
    Check also if your Projects are published so that you have a Project Workspace for each Project. In the workspaces you should have a list "Tasks" or "Tasks1" for migrated workspaces. This is important because only Tasks from the workspaces' Tasklist are
    shown in the Mysite
    In any other cases please check the ULS Log and/or the Application Event log. Especially have a look to Distributed Cache Service and the Feed Cache.

  • What's wrong with old applet tag?

    Hi there,
    What is wrong with old <applet> tag? It will stop displaying java applet in the new browsers? What do we gain by using <embed>?
    Thanks.
    Mike

    The applet element was deprecated in HTML 4.01 but still works. Continue to use it to display AWT applets in NE else if using SWING applets must to use EMBED. See Java documentation for details, in special the OBJECT tag chapter..better reading about HTML converter.

  • What to do with old ATC?

    My Airport Time Capsule (purchased April 2009) has apparently died.
    A 'factory reset' results in a green light, then flashing amber, then solid amber, then the LED goes dark.  It never appears in Airport utility during this process.
    I was using it mainly for backup and don't need a wireless router, so I bought an external hard drive to serve that purpose.
    So what do I do with the old ATC?  I don't know if my data is still on it or not.  I hate to throw it in the trash.  Is it recycleable?  Is it worth anything to someone with the know-how to fix it?  If they fix it, will my data be exposed?
    I just don't know what to do with it now.  Any suggestions?

    You were right.  Power supply was dead.
    I've never done anything like this before, but thanks to the link you provided with instructions, I opened up my time capsule.
    I have no way to wipe the hard drive, so I decided to take a chance on replacing the power supply.
    Ordered one on eBay ($79.95) and installed it.  Time Capsule powered up and is running fine.  It runs really hot so after reading about all the issues with the design, I decided to leave the rubber mat off the bottom and got some 'feet' for it so it doesn't sit flat on the shelf.
    I wiped the hard drive and started my Time Machine backups again.  I really prefer the 'wireless' backup to the TC rather than having the USB hard drive plugged into my Macbook Pro for backups.
    If I can get another 4 years out of it, it will be well worth it! 
    Thanks again for the advice!

  • IDVD freezing when trying to work with old project

    I am running iLife '09 and OS X 10.6.2. I burned this project successfully in the past 12/09 after creating it, however trying to burn and work with the project after some changes and iDVD will freeze or give me a grey screen and crash. Where can I look to see the cause of this? Crash Reporter has no logs of the events.
    cheers!
    James

    Hi
    There is a bug in iDVD'09 (at least)
    If You make an iDVD project
    Then go back to Your movie and make a small change
    Then open iDVD again - it will notice this and say to Update or Cancel
    NEITHER of them works.
    ONLY one medicine - Make a brand new iDVD project and re-import Your movie.
    Sorry - Non has come up with a more elegant solution. (at all)

  • What to do with old PPC Mac Mini?

    I've got an old Mac Mini Power PC lying around with 160 GB HD and 1 GB of RAM. Rather than just let it collect dust, are there any interesting things I can do with it within my home? I'm not looking to run my own web or email server, but any other ideas I'd love to hear.
    Thanks

    Hello Wayne,
    Unless your running a SOHO (Small Office Home Office if your not familiar with the term) the mini server is WAY WAY overkill. For what your wanting to do, the regular version of the OS will work just fine.
    Several companies have drive enclosures that look almost identical to the mac mini that is a concern, I'll post a link to one at the end of this response.
    If you were going to connect connect your two Mini's directly via the ethernet port you would loose your internet connectivity unless you went (a)wireless for the network portion of your project or (b) got one of apple's usb/ethernet adapters. My suggestion would be to pick up like a netgear, or some other brand, multiport router and plug both units into it.
    FW400 to FW00 works fine, I've used it several times when migrating some of the people I support from older macs to newer ones.
    Hope this helps or gives you more ideas LOL

  • What to do with old RAM?

    Hello all, I live in the UK and I still have RAM that I removed from my old PowerBook Aluminum and am planning to upgrade the RAM from my current MacBook Pro to its maximum of 3GB.
    What can I do with all the old memory (some local solution preferably please)? What's the most profitable way to dispose of all of them?
    So, I've got memory like this:
    3 x 256MB PC2700 DDR 333 CL2.5 SODIMM
    1 x 32MB PC100 222 SDRAM (this one from an old desktop)
    Thank you all.

    +RE: profitable way to dispose of all of them+
    None, really. Maybe eBay, but don't hold your breath.
    Consider using them as coasters, maybe incorporating them into an art project. A 1 GB stick is something like £23 right now - good luck finding someone who wants to buy a 32 MB stick, or even a 256 MB stick, which is almost the same thing these days...

  • Media error with old project

    Hi All,
    I'm opening an old FCP5.x project on my FCP6.0.6 system. There are 5 media files in this project. I have all of the original files, but they are now on a different HD. When opening the project FCP asks me if I want to update from an older version, I select OK. Then the dialog asks me to re-connect the missing media. The first 2 work fine, but the other three cause this warning to appear: "Some attributes of one or more of the files you have chosen do not match the attributes of the original. This may cause problems within the sequences that are dependent on them. The attributes that differed are as follows:
    - Media Start and End
    Would you like to try to connect them again?"
    On one clip I can select try again and it moves forward. With the other 2 I have to select continue to move forward. Then those files show in the reconnect media window as having conflicts.
    I've seen similar threads here, but they all seem to be due to someone using Media Manager to offline their project and then bring it back online. I didn't do that, I'm simply trying to open an older file using the same original capture files, albeit on a different hard drive.
    Does anyone know how I can figure out why FCP is having problems with these files?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Not really sure actually. It's an hour-long project. I took a quick scan through the timeline to see if there was any audio out of sync, but most of the voice is off-camera. I'm not even sure if the cuts are correct. I do have a dvd of the original project, so I'll have to go through them simultaneously to see if they match.
    In the mean time, I'm moving the capture files to an external HD and then going to plug that into my Powerbook which still have FCP5 on it. Will see if the project opens up normally there.
    Thanks.
    *Edit: actually just tried opening up the project on the laptop - turns out that it must actually be a FCP4 project as I got the same dialog telling me that it was an older project version.... Have to see if the mothballed iMac DV has FCP4...

  • What to Do with Old iPhone When a New One Comes Out

    What do you do with your old iPhone when a new one comes out? Is there some trade-in thing or something? Do I just pay full price for the new iPhone? Does AT&T have a trade-in policy or something?

    No trade-in. I just sell mine [on ebay] a few weeks before the newer version comes out, or right after. they go for quite a bit if they are in nice condition.

  • Replace with after effects composition is replacing one clip with old project

    AE CC 2014
    Windows 7
    Hello,
    when I "replace with after effects composition" in PP - After Effects is replacing one *mov clip (only one of hundreds) with an old aep comp, that I was working on yesterday. And say that this aep is missing...
    I allready purge all data, deleted all cache (PP&AE) restart Computer...
    What can I do...Its really stopping me from reaching my deadline tonight....
    Thanks!

    Ok guys...I got it...
    Its not a *mov that it missplaced, its another dynamic link to AE...so dynamic link to dynamic link seems not to work? I accidently linked that clip and worked on it in AE in the old aep from yesterday..but still wondern why AE get confused loading it...the "old aep comp" is full with others comp...could that be the reason...?

  • Lost iphone, replaced it, found lost one, what to do with old one

    Ok, I lost my iphone 4g, I get a replacement, insurance wasn't available at the time I got the phone. Now one of my co-workers found it for me today, what can I do with the old phone. Should I report it to Verizon, and hope they would offer credit or some consolation to my account. Or don't bother wasting my time with that, just try to sell it.
    Please advise, thanks

    How did you get a replacement?  If you just purchased it, the old one is yours to do with as you wish.  The credit you can get from Verizon is  less than you could get for it by selling it yourself, but you have to consider if that is worth the hassle.  See the official Verizon program:
    https://www.trade-in.vzw.com
    Looks like for the VZ iPhone in good condition:
    $252 16GB
    $265  32GB
    $312 64GB
    (I would expect these prices (and those you get elsewhere) to drop once a new iPhone comes out.)
    If you got the phone some other way (you say insurance wasn't available) through a credit card company or something, I'm sure the conditions would say the old phone belongs to them.

  • What to do with old 30GB hard drive after replacement?

    Hi everybody,
    am going to replace my 30GB HDD with a 160GB HDD the next days, I am preparing everything around, as I am going to do it byf myself. One question besides all the data-saving, backing up and shifting to other drives is becoming increasingly interesting:
    What do I do as soon as all the contents of the old drive are secured somewhere? Do I run a full erase on the drive? How can this be done?
    (Sorry for the stupid quote, but the picture of a snake comes to my mind that eats up itself and whoops?!... away it is. ) I understand how to safely erase almost everything but the OS cannot be erased, correct?
    Thanks for a hint,
    I appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Keywan

    Once you have the replacement and file/data transfer done, you can pick up a HD enclosure for about $20-30 at most any electronics store and put that 30g drive in it. Then you can erase it and use it as a removable HD. I will do that when I upgrade a HD, no sense trashing a perfectly good HD, even a smaller one, when you can still use it for the price of an enclosure.

  • What to do with old iPhoto library after migration to Photos

    After migration to Photos my hard drive is maxed out. I want to move the 15gigs old iPhoto library to an external drive to free some space as some have suggested. Others here have said you can just trash the old library. There must be a reason 10.10.3  was designed to retain the iPhoto library. Trash it--really? Another suggestion was to put my 15 gigs on a flash drive. So the question is: does Photos need to be able to see the iPhoto library as it would if on an external drive connected to my Time Machine?

    Thanks for your reply but I'm still confused as to how I lost over 10Gigs of HD space after the migration. I understand the conversion is supposed to create more space, not less.  When I look in the pictures folder in Finder, I see 2 LIbrarys, iPhoto and Photos, each of them approx 15 Gbs. according to the Get Info menu.  I guess what I don't understand is if the iPhotos Library is not needed and is moved to an external drive why that wouldn't free that amount of space.
    Also, if "optimization" is supposed to move "some" high res images to the cloud to make room on the HD, how is it that I find myself with only 1gb left on my HD? What is the criteria that triggers "optimization" and how much room can we expect it to shoot for? There seems to be a variety of answers on this subject, many of them sound like guesses. Apple's explanation is vague about how it works, so hopefully someone has the accurate, in depth scoop on this.

  • What to do with old iBook

    I found an iBook (blue one) and two PowerBooks G3 in my recycle area. A friend looked at them and said to toss them. Is there a place to recycle these? I hate to toss them in the trash. Does Apple recycle?

    Hi, I just checked the recycle value of my beloved iBook. Zero dollars. Hurt my feeling for not quite one second. I love my iBook and still use it. No plan to recycle or part company with my wonderful iBook, Old Faithful. Solid machine. I am doing an important project. Have a notebook or two or three in the house. Guess which one I am using for my project?

  • What to do with old Ipod 4

    Apple gave me back my broken Ipod 4 that they replaced with a new one for a price.  I am just wondering what I can do with it now?

    Anything yo want. Sell for parts.
    I am surprised since Apple exchanges an old iPod for a refurbished one as an out-or-warranty replacement.
